I'm trying to figure out the standard convention for when to add the "..." to the end of a menu item. I didn't find the answer in the Programmer's Companion nor the archives. Nor have I discerned the pattern in the built-in apps.
Some apps appear to add ellipses to the menu when it will result in a modal dialog that requires a button press. However, the "About" menu item tends to not have ellipses, even though it results in a modal dialog that requires a button press to continue. Some apps add ellipses when the menu item will cause any form change or dialog. But, again, the "About" is an exception because it is unusual for the about menu item to include the ellipses. Some apps just don't use ellipses at all. So, what is the standard?
